"Glowing Older"

Hello my dear vitiligo friends.  I have written myself a birthday poem.  The first word in the title has several meanings to me; Radiant, happy, God filled, as well as, complete depigmentation.  It was my attempt at humorous verse in writing poetry.  I will read it this Wednesday at my poets' meeting.

Here it is:

GLOWING OLDER

 

 

 It’s my birthday time again

Seems the last one just began

Now I have a collection of sixty-seven

Growing closer to my time in heaven.

 

But just a minute, I’m not done yet

More great memories I hope to get

Today is one more I will cherish

God bless you all, before I perish.

 

My life has had its ups and downs

Now don’t fill your face with those frowns

Those "ups" are what makes life great

And the "downs" they make me appreciate.

 

Oh now, notice I am feeling just fine

Adding some humor is my design

I have been grieving as of late

So today I just want to celebrate.
